I really have been enjoying this album a great deal also. Good to see the old chap can still rock out (see "Something Is Squeezing My Skull"), but hasn't lost a step with his unloved and gloomy persona ("Throwing My Arms Around Paris") that's always been his trademark.

Morrissey: Years of Refusal
Morrissey's Years Of Refusal is my favorite album of his for a long time; and, I love this, from Fluxblog: Morrissey seems extremely comfortable in his skin these days, often coming across on stage and in the excellent covers of his three most recent albums as though he has waited his entire li...
Beautiful! I love it. Well done.

The Definition of a Slow News Day
I could go all defensive about this piece on Valleywag about our extravagant Disneyland trip, but I won't. Instead, I'll be gracious and help Owen during these troubled times for Valleywag. Here's a couple of story ideas based on a few photos from our weekend. Enjoy! ...
Octopussy was by far the worst Bond film of all time. Anyway, I recommend MythBusters, Wednesday night on the Discovery Channel. It's must see TV for any self respecting geek.

In which I reveal my pathetic love for TV
I need a television recommendation service, or something. (And it shouldn't be TiVo, because its suggestions just are so not helpful.) Or maybe there just needs to be more interesting stuff to watch on TV. But please, people, I'm watching Octopussy right now! Octopussy! And I don't want to be wat...
Sorry Anil I forgot funky syndication is a taboo subject around your parts.
Thanks for the explanation Ben.

The Joy of Splicing
The other day, Fred Wilson made some interesting points about services in the age of Web 2.0, when customers of a service like TypePad might have their personal output being published on many services (TypePad, Flickr, del.icio.us, etc). As a personal example of that, even within the scope of our...
So in other words, garbage in garbage out. If you try to splice in an odd, funky or unneighborly RSS feed that is missing data Atom requires, the splice will output an invalid feed.

Very interesting and great work as usual.
I notice that your one-liner is generating the spliced feeds in Atom. Does that feed splicer guarantee valid Atom output even if one or more of the sources are RSS?

CPAN reports a very high number of testing failures with XML::Atom. Will this next release address any of these issues?
